An Unclear Timeline
Before the sitter advised the couple Fred was lacking, she texted them at 12:36 pm UK time to say that Fred had diarrhea. However, she later mentioned that she was caught within the river with three canine at the moment. But if she have been getting the canine out of the river, she wouldn’t be texting them about Fred’s digestive issues on the similar time.

A lady who helped the sitter get the canine out of the water mentioned she didn’t keep in mind seeing a canine that matched Fred’s description. So, Fred may need been lacking earlier than the sitter even glided by the river.
According to the couple, the sitter left the river at 12:59 pm, and there’s no proof that she appeared for Fred after. Julie and John have been those who known as the police and reported Fred lacking, not the sitter.
